Top Ten Tuesday is featured by That Artsy Reader Girl. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
Topic: Romantasy Tropes I’ll Never Resist

Enemies to Lovers
Chemistry, tension, banter and, sometimes, betrayal!
Grumpy x Sunshine
Bonus point if grumpy is a fae!!!
Shadow Daddy
Dark, dangerous, and possessive who controls shadows. Sublime!
Academic Setting
Magic schools! Bonus points if the characters are rivals!
Fated Mates
A connection destined by magic – does it get better than that?!
Fake Dating/Arranged Marriage
Characters entering into a fake relationship/marriage for political or magical reasons – fabulous!
Forced Proximity
Simply delish!
One Bed
Say no more. My utter favourite!
Do you agree with any of these?
Most tropes are getting tiresome, but found family is superior!
